Earbuds Or Over Ear Headphones For Gym

I was originally looking for noise cancelling headphones with over the ear hooks for use at the gym (earbuds alone always fall out, and traditional over the ear headsets are just too bulky for me). I couldn't find any quality noise cancelling ones. So, based on reviews, I took a chance on these Beats. They sound great, the noise cancelling works just fine, and, well, with the wings, they stay firmly and comfortably in my ears. Highly recommended!

These are my first open ear headphones. No more earbuds for me!

I like to use ear buds for the gym/snowboarding/ and long flights mostly. Over the last 10 years of different shure, sony, and denon headphones these are my favorite. I really like the detachable buds and the controls on the cable.

Loved these headphones for listening to audio book, going to the gym, or taking phone calls. Changed the ear bud size and fits perfectly.

I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.

I've had the Beats Studio wireless over-the-ear headphones for over a year and desired the same audio quality in a more portable form. These earbuds do not disappoint. If you're looking for noise-cancelling earbuds with the freedom of bluetooth then these are worth the purchase. The battery life relative to the recharging time is also very impressive.
